Circuit breakers with antibacterial safety covers

The TA35 thermal circuit breaker with an antibacterial safety cover is suited for sensitive medical and laboratory applications. ISO 22196 confirms the antibacterial effectiveness, in particular protection against the growth of the bacterial strains E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The silver ions contained in the protective cover, however, also inhibit the growth of countless other organisms. The TA35 is water- and dustproof according to Protection Class IP65 and is resistant to conventional cleaning and disinfectant agents.

Fuse holders

Electrically energized components in equipment can cause dangerous body currents upon contact. SCHURTER offers special shockproof fuse holders with integrated protection against accidental contact specially for medical applications. They meet PC2- or PC3-class touch protection according to IEC/UL 60601-1 / UL544.
This base standard for medical electrical equipment additionally requires fuse holders that can only be opened with the help of a tool. Then only authorized personnel should be able to changes fuses. For this, SCHURTER offers the "Extra-Safe" fuse drawers.
